About Me
- MIKE COZART
- I grew up in San Diego in the 70's around people -like my parents who were working for General Dynamics, Ryan Aeronautical etc.....they all had neat modern houses and had dinner and cocktail parties---shopping Centers and restaurants then were like being in Tomorrowland-----we went to Disneyland, Santa's Village and Knott's Berry Farm and all these places had an impression on me! I was fascinated by drawing and model making---when I was 5 I was making clay copies of a preview model for Walt Disney World of what became Big Thunder Mountain..whenever we went somewhere I would come home and make paper, wood and clay models of a building or something--went to San Diego State and studied Environmental Design. Worked for Disney Company for 13 continuous years. Currently a model maker and designer .

Thanks Guys! You're always welcome to come and visit TOMORROWLOUNGE 67
I'm new to my own blog postings so many of the search engines are not picking up my stuff yet, but for more information on these and other attraction posters, take a look at my DISNEY PARK ATTRACTION POSTERS blog -- attractionposter.blogspot.com . There you will see a detailed rundown of these beautiful gems. You will see some very rare versions, varaitions, and concepts for these posters. I've also got great stories by many of the designers about hidden things and funny incidents during the creation of their attraction posters!!
Okay, here's an obscure question. Do you have any pictures of what was above the Carousel Theater AFTER Progress City was removed, but BEFORE the Super Speed Tunnel was added? I remember going through there on the PeopleMover and seeing posters, but the only one I can remember was a poster for Space Mountain, which at the time was a future attraction. I can't remember what any of the other posters were for....whether they were current park attraction posters or if they were for future attractions as well. This area could only have existed a very short time...from the time America Sings opened until the time the PeopleMover was shut down for the construciton of Space Mt. Just thought I would ask, since you seem to have many wonderful and rare Tomorrowland images!
TOKYO MAGIC: After Progress City was removed, the area was used for some storage for a short time, but the PEOPLEMOVER right-of-way thru The Carousel Theater featured 5 large openings with rounded corners showing illuminated plexi panels with WED concepts of future attractions -all tomorrowland. Mainly Space Mountain and Mission To Mars. The largest panel featured Clem Hall's nighttime view of the Space Mountain complex. One panel was of a (picture) of a Space Mountain model-not the actual model. A actual model was showcased below in a case in front of the Space Mountain construction wall. if you look towards the far right of the Space Mountain pylon, you can see the display case with the model. Almost all the pictures along the wall were featured in the PeopleMover Tomorrowland expansion preview.
